Lyrics
My moonshine habit gets the best of me
I tend to trip over my tongue
I stumble and I tumble over tables and chairs
Situationships, relationships, I just don't care.
Oh, my moonshine habit (x2)
With my moonshine habit there's a price to pay
Oh the tales I hear the very next day.
Show up to the shindig, I'm already gone,
tomorrow I'm left to wonder just how I got home
with my moonshine habit, yeah, my moonshine habit.
When that moonshine whiskey is off the shelf,
the hell nearly raises itself.
Now if I'm feelin' blue, and I don't have a plan,
I just pay a little visit to that ol' corn liquor man
for my moonshine habit, yes, my moonshine habit.
Inst. Verse 1x
My moonshine habit gets the best of me,
Sometimes I have a problem, you see.
Pour a few fingers, the answer's so clear,
but pretty soon it's refill time 'round here.
Oh, my moonshine habit...yeah, my moonshine.
